Use the Force

Father’s Day is almost over. Whew. I’m so glad because it means that I won’t be the only one changing dirty diapers tomorrow. Or will I?

Friday I made my usual Father’s Day shirts for the girls to wear to the Astros game. Damion really liked them and I think they turned out super cute. If only the Astros would have gotten the message that there was a game and showed up to the game it would have been a great night!

I used a freezer paper stencil for Darth Vader and then used my embroidery machine for the script. Princess Girly Girl requested a pink bow for Darth Vader, not in her hair.. but on Darth Vader himself. Hmm… I decided against that one and she was a little mad.

For Damion’s actual gift I made something that I promised to make him last year. Procrastination is my second language.

It’s a Star Wars tool belt to wear when he builds me stuff.

I again used a freezer paper stencil for Darth Vader and the script.

Darth Vader is on a reverse applique.

Damion claims that he may not even use it though because I put the girls hand prints and names on the back and he doesn’t want to mess them up.

I can’t believe how well all the Father’s Day projects turned out. The tool belts and shirts came out better than I had hoped for and I had no major bloopers. Can you believe it? I can’t.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there…. especially to my hunk of burning love. You are the best dad and I love you.

I have something embarrassing to tell you, my friends. (Deep breaths)… I know this is a judgment free zone (because yall forgive me for having the world’s worst looking hot glue gun).. so here it goes….. My front door is naked. Naked. It’s bad enough that the previous owners painted it a very unfortunate shade […]

People like their potatoes different ways. Some want them mashed, some fried, others baked… but me? I like potatoes sliced in half and covered in paint. Simply put, I love potato prints. Why? Because they’re easy and oh-so-adorable. Plus a potato is kinda an egg shape so you should have known I’d make Easter Egg […]
